I think the 8 desparado wrote of were the other 8 justices on the Alabama Court. If all 8 were not honest and of sound mind, we should worry about the competence of Alabama voters to chose wisely.

Yeah, as we see on almost every campus every time a conservative is invited to speak. Those are real attacks. Berkley can barely afford the insurance payments to cover those fascist gangs who "speak" on your behalf. Antifa.. BLM.. all great conservative wrecking mobs, right?

SGM B Loc: TEXAS but live in Alabama now

Here's an idea - since you bring nothing to the conversation, how about you just crawl back under the rock you crawled out from under. Yes, twice removed from the Alabama Supreme Court by a liberal judge who has no problem legislating from the bench. Wonder why said judge didn't go after the 10 Commendments in the Supreme Courthouse, oh that's right - no cahones. The people of Alabama elected Judge Moore twice, and twice he was removed by an unelected liberal, appointed for life, legislate from the bench buffoon!
Yup, makes sense to me.

2016 suspension from the bench and resignation

On May 6, 2016, the Alabama Judicial Inquiry Commission (JIC) forwarded a list of six charges of ethical violations by Moore to the Alabama Court of the Judiciary.[58] Moore was suspended from the Alabama Supreme Court pending trial and ruling. Moore faced removal from office over the charges, which were more serious than those which removed him from office in 2003.[59][60] The JIC's complaint charged Moore with violating the Alabama Canon of Judicial Ethics by:[58]

disregarding a federal injunction.
demonstrated unwillingness to follow clear law.
abuse of administrative authority.
substituting his judgment for the judgement of the entire Alabama Supreme Court, including failure to abstain from public comment about a pending proceeding in his own court.
interference with legal process and remedies in the United States District Court and/or Alabama Supreme Court related to proceedings in which Alabama probate judges were involved.
failure to recuse himself from pending proceedings in the Alabama Supreme Court after making public comment and placing his impartiality into question.

On May 27, Moore filed a federal lawsuit against the JIC (Moore v. Judicial Inquiry Commission), alleging that his automatic suspension was unconstitutional.[61][62] On August 4, the federal district court dismissed Moore's suit, ruling that under the abstention doctrine, federal courts generally do not interfere with ongoing state court proceedings.[63][64]
Suspension by the Court of the Judiciary

In June 2016, Moore filed a motion to dismiss the JIC proceedings, arguing, among other things, that the JIC and Alabama Court of the Judiciary lacked jurisdiction to review Administrative Orders that he issued and that the orders of the Alabama Supreme Court were still in effect from the Alabama Policy Institute proceedings prohibiting the issuance of same-sex marriage licenses by probate judges in Alabama, despite the rulings in Obergefell v. Hodges issued by the U.S. Supreme Court, Searcy v. Strange, Strawser v. Strange, and the decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, which held that the orders were abrogated by Obergefell.[58][65][66][67][68] The Court of the Judiciary set a hearing date for the motion to dismiss and ruled that it would be treated as a motion for summary judgment pertaining to the charges filed by the JIC.[69][70]

The Human Rights Campaign, an LGBT rights group, responded: "It is clear that Roy Moore not only believes he is above the law, he believes he is above judicial ethics... Moore was tasked with upholding the law of the land when marriage equality was affirmed by the Supreme Court of the United States, and he defied that task, in the process harming loving, committed same-sex couples across Alabama for his own personal, discriminatory reasons."[71]

In July 2016, the JIC filed a cross-motion for summary judgment, asking the Court of the Judiciary to issue summary judgment removing Moore from the bench. Attorneys for the JIC wrote: "Because the chief justice has proven—and promised—that he will not change his behavior, he has left this Court with no choice but to remove him from office to preserve the integrity, independence, impartiality of Alabama's judiciary and the citizens who depend on it for justice."[72][73][74] In their reply, Moore (through his attorneys at Liberty Counsel) denied that Moore had directed Alabama's probate judges to disobey an injunction issued by the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Alabama, asserting that the orders of the Alabama Supreme Court, which required Alabama's probate judges to deny marriage licenses to same-sex couples, were still in effect. Moore argued that his January 6 Administrative Order was mischaracterized by the JIC, despite the fact that the January 6 order stated "... Until further decision by the Alabama Supreme Court, the existing orders of the Alabama Supreme Court that Alabama probate judges have a ministerial duty not to issue any marriage license contrary to the Alabama Sanctity of Marriage Amendment or the Alabama Marriage Protection Act remain in full force and effect."[75][76][77][78]

At an August 2010 hearing before the Alabama Court of the Judiciary on the motions to dismiss and for summary judgment, Moore's attorneys continued to assert that Moore did not order probate judges to disobey the injunction issued by the U.S. District Court or the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage. The attorney for the JIC responded that Moore's argument "defies common sense" and said that Moore was defying a federal court order, just as he did in 2003, and should be immediately removed from office.[79][80] The Alabama Court of the Judiciary subsequently denied both Moore's motion and the JIC motion and set a trial date.[81]

On September 30, 2016, Moore was found guilty of all six charges and suspended for the remainder of his term, slated to end in 2019.[82] In its 50-page order, the Court of the Judiciary stated it did not find credible Moore's claim that the purpose for the January 6 order was "merely to provide a 'status update' to the state's probate judges".[82] The ruling meant that Moore would not receive a salary paid for the remainder of his term. Moore also was ordered to pay court costs. The ruling effectively ended Moore's Supreme Court career, as he will not be eligible for reelection in 2018 because he will be above the maximum age (in Alabama, candidates for the Court must be 69 years of age or younger).[83][84]
Appeal to the Alabama Supreme Court and resignation

In October 2016, Moore filed a notice of appeal with the Court of the Judiciary appealing his suspension and the final judgment to the Alabama Supreme Court. Among other claims, Moore contended that neither the JIC nor the COJ had jurisdiction to investigate and punish him for his issuance of the Administrative Order of January 6, 2016; that the six charges against him had not been proven by clear and convincing evidence, and that by "suspending him" without pay for the remainder of his term, the COJ had effectively removed him from office without unanimous agreement of the COJ, as required under Alabama law.[85][86][87][88] Pending the appeal, Moore refused to clean out his office.[89]

The Alabama Supreme Court randomly selected seven retired judges to review the appeal of Moore's suspension,[90][91][92] Governor Robert Bentley issued an executive order formally appointing the special Supreme Court of these seven retired justices to hear Moore's appeal from the decision of the COJ that suspended him from the bench for the remainder of his term.[93]

In December 2016, Moore—represented by the group Liberty Counsel—filed his appeal brief with the special Alabama Supreme Court.[94][95][96][97][98] Eight current and retired Alabama judges filed an amicus brief in support of Moore, asserting in their filings that Moore's suspension was, in fact, a removal from office and contrary to Alabama law since it required unanimous agreement of the COJ, despite the fact the COJ did unanimously agree in their final judgment to suspend Moore for the remainder of his term.[99][100]

At Moore's request,[101] oral argument was canceled to speed up the proceedings, and the special Supreme Court agreed to rule on the case based on the written submissions of the parties.[102][103][104]

On April 20, the special Supreme Court upheld Moore's suspension.[105] In its opinion, the special Supreme Court ruled that all of the JIC's charges against Moore were supported by clear and convincing evidence. The Court also ruled that it did not have authority to rescind the sanctions imposed on Moore because the charges were amply supported by clear and convincing evidence, and that the JIC was unanimous in their decision to suspend Moore for the remainder of his term.[106]

Six days following the court's ruling, Moore resigned from the Alabama Supreme Court and announced he would be running for the United States Senate.[107][1][2]

My hat is off to you for your research on these issues however I stand by my statement that an unelected, lifetime appointment, liberal judge exercised power I do not believe he had to remove twice elected Judge Moore from his seat on Alabama Supreme Court.
However I believe Judge Moore will be elected to the US Senate on 12 December and in my view, we will be better off.
Enjoy your evening and thanks for your input, even tho my remarks were, I believe to Nickoli.

I'm with you SG. The entire flap was about same-sex marriage, an issue that was pushed hard by liberals and obviously by the liberal judge. Maybe Moore overstepped his authority, but he has convictions that will do nicely in the Senate. Doug Jones is just another chip off the "swamp block". Let's not add to the swamp; let's drain it.

I don't understand. You say you stand by your statement "that an unelected, lifetime appointment, liberal judge exercised power I do not believe he had to remove twice elected Judge Moore from his seat on Alabama Supreme Court." Are you then saying that the Wikipedia article is erroneous? Who is the "liberal judge" to whom you refer? In your previous comment, you accused this "liberal judge" of "legislating from the bench", but isn't that just what Judge Moore was found to have done (according to Wikipedia)?

And as for me giving "input, even tho [your] remarks were, [you] believe to Nickoli". Your remarks were to a public thread in response to a post by Nickolai. Thus to expect your remarks to be part of a private two way conversation, seems unusual, in that people on OPP are always "butting" into threads to give their two cents.

All these rulings against Judge Moore will be stars in his crown when he is welcomed into heaven.

Three of four polls showed him six points up yesterday.

I do so hope he has a chance to enter the U.S. Senate, and confront McConnell.

Lonewolf

They will set him in a coroner and shun him there's a special place in he'll for Moore and those who support him

SGM B Loc: TEXAS but live in Alabama now

I was not criticizing you for your input nor was I insinuating this was a private two way conversation or that I felt you were "butting" in. I accept your statements about the Alabama Judiciary relieving Judge Moore of his position on the Alabama Suoreme Court however I do not accept the ruling against the 10 Commandments or same sex marriage. To me, the 10 Commandments are the fabric of this country and marriage is between a man and a woman. I know these aren't popular beliefs and is far from being politically correct but those are my beliefs based on my Christian upbringing.
I hope you have a great day! 😃

Aye.

Perhaps the great social engineering experiment of the wacky/dangerous left will begin to unravel with Moore's election success.

Here's hoping.

A "coroner" deals only with the deceased, and I have no idea what "he'll represents, consequently, what you believe you are discussing is in great doubt.
